Dragon Age
Storm Rider:
Let's see if I can work around this with the good old-fashioned tiny text. It is a story-based spoiler, so do not resize this if you want to go in blind:
The romance subplot can result in pregnancy, and the player can choose to have the baby aborted. Whether it's tied to a specific character's romance, or whether a female PC can get herself pregnant, I don't know.
It's definitely something that's never even been approached in games before. My concern is whether the scene will be totally jarring with the tone of the rest of the story, more than finding the decision to include it objectionable. As much as "gamers" like to complain that video games aren't taken seriously as an artistic medium, whenever somebody takes an actual stab at including some remotely socially relevant subject matter, the audience usually turns on them for putting actually thought-provoking stuff in their escapism.

Oh I can see Fox news go absolutely batshit CRAZY over this. I think their reaction will be the funniest thing that will happen this year.
Alex C:
Fuck, I love digital downloading. Tomorrow, I pre-load Dragon Age. Then, on release day, I shall play it immediately like the gigantic nerd that I am.
Dimmukane:
For whatever reason I decided to get a physical copy...I don't fucking care because it's going to rock me that much harder after I wait 20 minutes to install.
Storm Rider:
I'm getting the 360 version, but it sounds like stores already have their copies so I should be able to get it on Tuesday rather than waiting a day for it to ship. That's been the case for all of the games I've bought on release in the past few months, it seems like publishers have just gotten smarter and shipped further ahead of time to avoid the whole ship date/street date annoyance.
